War in the City - The Bombing of Brighton and Hove [Volume II]

In this sequel to his colourful account of the early war years in Brighton and Hove, David Rowland takes us from the hardships and bombings of 1942 to the eventual celebrations of peace in 1945. As before, he draws on an impressive photographic archive and the first-hand memories of those who lived through those dramatic days to illustrate the day-to-day experiences of ordinary men and women who displayed a mixture of courage, grit and humour in the face of adversity. These two books together comprise the most detailed account yet published of a conflict which changed many local lives for ever.
